RE: [PHP-DB] Combination of SQL statements invalid in MySQL? From: Matt Friedman (matt <email protected>)

As far as I know sub-selects are not supported in mysql.

You have to make a list of item ids first and then use that list in your
delete statement.

ie: WHERE userid IN (list_goes_here)

Subject: [PHP-DB] Combination of SQL statements invalid in MySQL?

Hi there,

I am trying to do a combination of SQL statements like described in a
SQL bóok. Is it possible, that mysql does not allow this syntax?

Thanx Andy

Error:

Occured during executing DELETE FROM test_user_interests WHERE user_id =
(SELECT user_id FROM test_user WHERE user_name = 'herbert01') statement

Error: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'SELECT user_id
FROM test_user WHERE user_name = 'herbert01') ' at line 3
